hi, i think i found 2 bugs in the suse config. but i am curious if any others have experienced the same. i installed suse 7.1 on a gateway 7210 server with eepro100 card. problem 1: it could not save to modules.conf file. i have installed suse 7.1 at least 4 times. everytime, after activating the network card, i got a message, error occurred while saving modules.conf. when you reboot afterward, you see an error duing booting up, saying could not add default route because eth0 no such device. before i installed suse 7.1, i had redhat 7.0, so i saved modules.conf file. after i copied the file over, everything is good. the process does not even write to modules.conf file. in /etc, there is a file called modules.conf.- . problem 2: i noticed that my time is always wrong, my time zone is us eastern. it is always 4 hours behind. so, i changed the time. when i reboot, it lost the time again. then i noticed that /etc/localtime is linked to the wrong file, it is linked to ..//usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Eastern. obviously that is wrong. so i lined it to the correct file. when i reboot, the bad link is back again. anybody knows where during the boot up process, /etc/localtime is linked? i think suseconfig is the bad boy. anybody else experienced it? also, i want to upgrade to kernel 2.4.2 kernel using rpm. how do you do that? thanks __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
